Event Coverage: Sema 2013 – Part. 1

I’m sure by now most of your social media feeds are flooded with content from the 2013 SEMA show, which is justifiable because as usual this years show looks awesome.

Like yourselves I am not in Vegas this year but rather at home in Toronto wishing I’d have gone.

However this doesn’t mean I don’t have any original coverage for the site. Rob McJannett () and his brother Andy McJannett () of embarked on a journey of epic proportions that concluded in Vegas for SEMA.

With Andy at the wheel, Rob behind the camera, and me turning the knobs back here in Toronto, there will be no shortage of photos on from both SEMA and the .

Like years previous today’s coverage will start outside the convention centre on the day which some have deemed the storm before the storm.

Since Rob and Andy were there before the show officially kicked off they caught a few people putting that last coat of wax on their cars before the showKnowing where this is parked I am curious if the owner managed to get a hose to this beautiful ImpalaLooks like this car has changed some since I saw it in 2010I feel like this isn’t the first zombie ready Veloster I’ve seen…I beleive this Challenger is part of the annual ‘Dub’ Show at SEMADamn near half the rim tucked on this truck…Looks like a great looking build and those tails almost look like microphones…Very interesting looking ThunderbirdWide e92 on equally wide RotiformsNice to see this generation of Prelude still kicking around at eventsDave Carapetyan’s Pikes Peak EVOI love everything about this Garett Turbocharged BeetleOnce again there looks to be no shortage of BR-Z/86/FR-S models…If I am not mistaken this is the second Rocket Bunny Kit for this carBagged BRZ with a cool frost blue wrap(?)As always some awesome trucks were sitting outside the convention centre

Sema always seems to have an abundance of great C10sLS powered of course…and suddenly I want a brand new truckGod damn I love a good looking vanThis Corvair would have made a great addition to the Corvair Theme TuesdayA look at what lurks withinAwesome looking y50, love the purple and nice to see a restrained use of camberElvis from Stance Nation drove his LS400 from Cali for the showFitment calculated pefectlyThe Hot Rods at SEMA are always so interesting, looks like I could have spent a lot of time pouring over the details of thisSpeaking of details this bike looks to be chock full of themAwesome looking Valiant, not something I see too often at showsIt’s nice to see that though the engine bay is fresh it doesn’t clash with the exterior…which retains a fair bit of patinaI’ve been following this build for awhile now so missing it at SEMA this year is a bit of a bummer for me

Looks like a lot of other people dig it as wellBeautiful sled!Curious how much ‘Genesis’ is left in this buildYear after year the Optima Ultimate Street Car challenge vehicles are some of the most interesting

Thanks for a new desktop background, love that cutworm specialties rod.
Also that fermented fruit truck is so badass. But don’t be fooled, it’s not real rust/patina, just well done paint. And is it a COE still? Haha.
